Fishing 101: Melbourne Style

On this trip, we're talking light tackle inshore fishing at its finest. We'll be using a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what the fish are in the mood for. You might find yourself casting around mangroves, drifting over grass flats, or working the edges of channels. Our captain knows all the local honey holes where Atlantic Mackerel and other species love to hang out. We'll show you how to read the water, spot fish activity, and present your bait just right. It's hands-on learning that'll have you feeling like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Atlantic Mackerel are the stars of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These sleek, torpedo-shaped fish are a blast to catch and put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. They typically range from 1 to 2 feet long and are known for their speed and acrobatics when hooked. Spring and fall are prime times to target these beauties, but they can be caught year-round in Melbourne's waters. Mackerel are schooling fish, so when you find one, you've often found many – meaning non-stop action for everyone on board. Plus, they're not just fun to catch; they're delicious too, if you're into bringing home dinner.

While we're focusing on Mackerel, don't be surprised if you hook into other local favorites. The Indian River is teeming with species like redfish, snook, and spotted seatrout. Each has its own unique fight and quirks that make them a joy to catch. Our guide will give you the lowdown on what's biting and how to target each species as we move through different spots.
